I am making a layout for one of my sites and i have a div in the middle of the page. When i type text into the div there seems to be a big gap between the border of the div and the text. i have set padding to 0 on the div and it is still applying some sort of padding. i have tested this on IE 10 and Google Chrome 29. My code is below Here is a jsFiddle.
Html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Club Website</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Assets/Stylesheets/Global/Global.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="Assets/Stylesheets/Bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<style type="text/css">
</style>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Assets/Scripts/Javascript/jQuery/jQuery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$('document').ready(function() {
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="Wrapper">
<div id="Header">
<div id="HeaderInner">
<a href="#" class="HeaderLink HeaderSelectedLink">Main Page</a>
<a href="#" class="HeaderLink">Other Page</a>
<a href="#" class="HeaderLink">Other Page</a>
<a href="#" class="HeaderLink">Other Page</a>
<a href="#" class="HeaderLink">Other Page</a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="Body">
<div id="BodyInner">

</div>

/* Links */
.HeaderLink {
color: #999;
text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25);
text-decoration: none;
cursor: pointer;
margin: 0 15px;
}
.HeaderLink:hover {
text-decoration: none;
color: #FFF;
}
.HeaderSelectedLink {
color: #FFF;
}
/* Links */
The spacing is caused by the following CSS rule:
white-space: pre-wrap;
Which renders similarly to the <pre>
tag, drawing a line for every newline/line-break in the HTML source.
So with the following HTML:
<div id="BodyInner">
Hi
</div>
the whitespace before and after Hi
are being drawn on-screen.
